Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

No one has yet been able to answer my fundamental question: why should anyone bother playing through a story that no one bothered to write?????? Players want and DESERVE good story crafted by artisans, not AI slop.

let David Lynch’s spirit infest all of us with more power to be unapologetically weird as all hell

You’ll probably see this screenshot floating around a lot but it really was wonderful to see Lynch put a scene in Twin Peaks: The Return where he has his character literally stare at the camera and say that you should either support trans people or die. I needed to hear that in 2017

So glad they kept Peter Stormare in it, his sections in the game always had me so on edge!! Also very interesting how they’ve decided to adapt the branching narrative mechanic into a plot device. Thoroughly looking forward to watching this when it’s released at home so I can hide behind a pillow 🙂‍↕️

The new Meta policy changes are self contradictory at best and unashamedly homophobic/transphobic at worst. How can you call gender and sex protected characteristics in your first paragraph and then go on to say that you allow insults of mental illness if it’s because someone’s gay/trans???

If you see this, share 4 of your favourite female video game characters! (dragged myself away from the recency bias of my marvel rivals addiction, otherwise squirrel girl would 100% be included lmao)

Anybody have solutions for the lack of save feature on Bluesky at the moment? I keep finding so many articles and threads that I want to come back and read but there’s no easy way to save them from what I’m seeing 🥲

Give me a single screenshot from a video game that immediately makes you hear the soundtrack in your head. All the LIS soundtracks are permanently tattooed into my brain, but the first note of To all of you by Syd Matters is the sleeper agent code to bring out the angsty teen in me :’)

nearly forgot that it’s the game awards tonight, always a late one for the UK crowd but I can’t resist the live excitement 🥲 unlikely to happen but I’ve got my fingers crossed for a critical role game announcement after their rolling stone interview teased us critters recently! 🤞
